I've found some links (and hoping some of the guys do too) to see Space. The only bad thing about it is that the signal is the one who airs 1 hour behind Argentina - the 9pm (7pm Forum Time) official time of broadcast is the corresponding to Argentina (as Space is an Argentinian based channel) -. I'm aware that this means 8pm Fórum Time, the same hour than TAR Canada Finale.If somebody wants to get the link anyway, please tell me I will send you the link.
